Reviews For Fortuna’s Restaurant & Banquets

I am extremely grateful to the restaurants owner for reaching out to me after my previous experience. I was asked to give them another consideration by visiting the restaurant and I was thoroughly impressed. The recognition of a customers displeasure and the desire to make it right is what makes any restaurant stand above the rest. I enjoyed the best veal parmigiana this side of the Atlantic. It was perfectly breaded and extremely tender. The cheese and sauce were well balanced and made the meal worth the second trip. And to wrap up the meal I was very pleased with their cannoli's, they were crisp and sweet with just the right amount of chocolate chips and no fruit. My server, Joslyn, was extremely courteous and always checked to make sure how the meal was going. I was extremely delighted to see a huge difference between my previous experience to what is was this time. The overall experience and the realization that the owner of this phenomenal restaurant does take the comments of their customers to heart is what all restaurants should be like. I am honored and humbled to be contacted by the owner to ensure my unfortunate experience was not overlooked. Thank you for the experience and the recognition and offering of discounts to military and first responders. I will always remember this restaurant and will definitely recommend this establishment to all.

I did not have a reservation (if on a normal busy night or larger party, definitely recommend them) and was able to be seated almost immediately. Be hungry! The food (I had the gnocchi, sausage and sauce) was outstanding! It was so good, I ordered uncooked set for eats at home. A great place to take a date. Rock solid wine list. Wouldn't hesitate to eat there again (from out of town, but family in Niagara Falls, so back frequently enough). Ensure you have the time to enjoy dinner, and not be in a hurry. Well done!

We went last night for dinner, nice environment, the service was really good. I ordered the shrimp scampi and it was good. My brother order the lasagna but we all agreed that even it was tasty it had way too much sauce. In general food was ok, the bread they brought to the table was cold , they should have bring it warm.

Classic Italian atmosphere & cuisine. Ask for Kalena & you will have outstanding service. Everything is scratch made--pasta noodles, Italian dressing, even. Food is absolutely fantastic. You just have to go.

My son and I had the pleasure of eating at Forumas last night. We arrived after a long day of travel and the experience was great. The staff were professional, the food was sensational (Lasagna with Meat Sauce) and a great Old Fashioned! Our server, Alyssa, was attentive and gave us some great information about the restaraunt and the Falls itself. Cannot wait to go back on our next trip up to the Falls!

We had a really good experience. The food was really good. The vodka pasta was delicious and the sauce was so good. The only thing I didn’t really care for was the bread, it seemed a little stale/old but everything else was good. The area it is in is very strange also but that didn’t affect my rating at all.

We love Fortuna's. Been going there for years. Cool throwback family place with wonderful music, fantastic homemade pasta, and the best eggplant anywhere. Occasionally we do the family pack dinners too and they are a great value for a quick take home dinner.

Fortuna's is a little gem tucked in an area that you might not find on your own. The food is more traditional Italian cuisine and delicious. I have used them for catering as well and my guests loved the food. I recommend checking it out.
